A clip shows Karim playing with locals a game with sticks and a ball on fire.

Karim is in his twenties, with short wavy brown hair and wears jeans, a blue shirt, a bandana, scarfs ties on her arms and legs, and a face full of traditional makeup.

He says WELCOME TO GUATEMALA.
IT'S DAY FOUR OF FIVE.
THE BOYS ARE STILL GETTING TO
GRIPS WITH THE MAYAN GAME PITZ.
AND I'M JUST HOPING I GET OUT
OF HERE ALIVE.

A player says COME ON!

Karim says THINGS ARE REALLY HEATING UP
AROUND HERE.

(music plays)

Karim says THESE KIDS ARE LITERALLY AT THE
TOP OF THEIR GAME.

Camille says THEY'RE SOME OF THE
FASTEST, STRONGEST, MOST
SPORTINGEST KIDS IN THE
COUNTRY.

Karim says RUGBY, ATHLETICS,
AMERICAN FOOTBALL...

Franc is 13, with short wavy brown hair and plays rugby.

Alesha is 15, with long wavy blond hair in braids and run in a track with a parachute tied around her waist.

Reef is 14, with short curly brown hair and plays American football.

Camille says BOXING, GYMNASTICS,
HORSE-RIDING, AND RUNNING.

Jocelyn is 12, with long red hair in a braid and boxes.

Sol is 11, with short curly brown hair and does gymnastics flips.

Neisha is 14, with long wavy brown hair in a braid. She rides a horse and runs.

Karim says AND THEY'RE TAKING THEIR
SKILLS ACROSS THE WORLD.

Captions read "Brazil. Kenya. Mongolia. Malaysia. Guatemala. Japan."

Karim says I'VE GOT THE BOYS TEAM.

Camille says AND I'VE GOT THE GIRLS!

Camille is in her twenties, with long straight light brown hair in a ponytail. She wears a printed T-shirt and a bandana.

Alesha fights with sticks with a native African man.

Camille says GET HIM, ALESHA!

Karim says AND THEY'RE TRAVELLING...

Camille says VAMOS!
TO THE FURTHEST CORNERS OF THE
EARTH.

Camille rides a horse and says TO TEST THEIR SPORTING
SKILLS AGAINST LOCALS.

Karim says AND COMPETING IN SPORTS
THEY'VE NEVER DREAMED OF TRYING.

A clip shows Franc 3 other team members play a ball game in native clothes.

Franc says I'VE NEVER SEEN A
SPORT LIKE IT.

A clip shows a man in a dragon costume do flips.

Karim says HOW WILL THEY MEASURE UP WITH
JUST A WEEK TO BEAT THE WORLD?

A girl carries a tray full of cups.

A woman says GO, GO, GO, GO, GO!

Camille says THE GIRLS HAVE GOT THIS.

Karim says NO WAY!
THE BOYS HAVE GOT THIS!

The boys and the girls join their hands together and cheer before the games.

(ALL CHEERING)

The name of the show appears against an animated bouncy planet Earth. It reads "A week to beat the world."

Camille says THIS WEEK, AMERICAN
FOOTBALLER REEF, GYMNAST SOL,
AND RUGBY PLAYER FRANC HAVE
BEEN DROPPED IN AT THE DEEP END
OF GUATEMALA...

Sol tries a traditional dish with chicken feet in it and gasps.

He says OH, OH!

Camille says WITH JUST FIVE
DAYS TO LEARN PITZ...

Fran hits the ball with his hip and says OOH!

Camille says THE ANCIENT
MAYAN BALL GAME, PLAYED WITH
TWO TEAMS TRYING TO SCORE
GOALS BY WHACKING A HEAVY
RUBBER BALL WITH THEIR HIPS.
THE BOYS' COACH, JAVIER, HAS
HAD THEM TRAINING IN TROPICAL
STORMS... IN THE MOUNTAINS...

Karim says STEP TO IT!
DON'T HAVE ALL DAY, BOYS!
COME ON!

Camille says AND NOW, KARIM AND
COACH JAVIER HAVE GOT THE BOYS
UP SUPER EARLY TO TRAIN ON THE
WATER.

Wearing a traditional straw hat, Karim says WELCOME TO LAKE ATITLÁN.
SAID IT GOOD?

Javier says MUY BIEN.

Karim says THANK YOU, BROTHER.

Camille says NOBODY GOING TO
MENTION THE HAT?
JUST ME?

Karim says THIS IS A HUGE FLOODED
VOLCANIC CRATER, AND THIS
MORNING, IT'S GOING OFF.
NOT LIKE THAT.
THE VOLCANO IS FINE... I THINK.

Javier speaks Spanish.

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

The translator says GOOD, THEN.
IN THIS CHALLENGE, YOU WILL BE
TRAINED FOR STRENGTH IN YOUR
ARMS AND BALANCE, WHICH WILL
HOPEFULLY GIVE YOU A CHANCE OF
SUCCESS IN THE TOURNAMENT.

Karim says SO, YOU'RE DOING THE
PADDLING, AND I'LL BE DOING THE
FISHING.

Camille says JAVIER, NEVER THE
ONE FOR A REGULAR GYM SESSION,
HAS REALLY PUSHED THE BOAT OUT
THIS TIME, ORGANIZING A
STAND-UP CANOE RACE.
THE BOYS HAVE TO TAKE THEIR
BOATS ON A GRUELLING COURSE ALL
THE WAY ROUND THOSE TREE
STUMPS.
I MEAN, IT'S HARD TO SEE THEM,
BECAUSE THEY'RE SO FAR AWAY,
BUT THEY LOOK LIKE THIS.
LIKE TREES, BASICALLY.
ANYWAY, THEN THEY HEAD BACK TO
THE START.
WHOEVER HITS DRY LAND FIRST
WINS.
EASY, RIGHT, BOYS?

Franc says I DON'T KNOW HOW...
I STILL HAVEN'T WOKEN UP
PROPERLY.
I DON'T KNOW HOW I'M MEANT TO BE
RACING.

Camille says LOCAL FISHERMAN
CESAR IS LENDING THE BOYS HIS
TRADITIONAL FLAT-BOTTOMED BOATS
FOR THIS RACE.
SO THEY DON'T FALL IN TOO MANY
TIMES AND SCARE OFF ALL HIS
FISH, HE'S GIVING THEM A QUICK
COURSE IN HOW TO NOT TO GO
OVERBOARD.

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

An instructor says STAND WITH YOUR
LEGS OPEN, AND DON'T TOUCH THE
CANOE WITH YOUR KNEES.
YOU HAVE TO PADDLE ON THE LEFT,
THEN ON THE RIGHT.
YOU MUST TRY AND STAY STRAIGHT.

Camille says COACH JAVIER'S
KINDLY GIVING THE BOYS A WHOLE
MINUTE OR TWO TO FIND THEIR SEA
LEGS-- WELL, LAKE LEGS-- BEFORE
THEY RACE.

Karim says ARE YOU OFF?

Sol says YEAH.
THIS IS FUN.
I LIKE THIS.
I PLAY THIS ON THE WII.

Karim says ADIOS, AMIGOS!

Sol says I'VE NEVER DONE
CANOEING, BUT I'M A GYMNAST.
SO I THINK I'LL BE ABLE TO
BALANCE QUITE WELL.

Reef says MY BALANCE IS PRETTY GOOD,
BUT I DON'T THINK IT COMPARES TO
SOL'S LEVEL.

Camille says TOMORROW IS THE
BOYS' FINAL CHALLENGE.
BUT TODAY, THEIR CHALLENGE IS
TO PROVE THEMSELVES TO COACH
JAVIER.
THEY NEED TO SHOW HIM THEIR
STAMINA AND DETERMINATION IN
THE BOAT RACE, BECAUSE TONIGHT,
HE CHOOSES THE TEAM CAPTAIN.
THE PRESSURE'S ON.

Sol says I REALLY WANT TO BECOME
CAPTAIN FOR PITZ TODAY, SO I
REALLY WANT TO TRY MY BEST.
NO, MY PADDLE!
NO!

Camille says UH, DON'T WORRY,
SOL.
JAVIER PROBABLY DIDN'T NOTICE
THAT.
(SOL YELPING)

He falls on his rear.

Camille says OR THAT.

Reef says YEAH, I'M REALLY GOING TO
TRY AND IMPRESS JAVIER, TO SHOW
THAT I CAN BE CAPTAIN.
I WANT TO...
I'M DETERMINED TO GET THAT.

Karim says BOYS, IT'S NOW TIME
FOR THE RACE!
READY.
SET.
GO, MY BOYS!
IT'S REALLY HARD, WHAT THEY'RE
DOING.
I'M REALLY IMPRESSED WITH THAT.
LOOKS GOOD.

Camille says REEF AND FRANC HAVE
GOT OFF TO A FLYING START, LIKE
A DUCK TO WATER.
A DUCK IN A BOAT?
A FISH?
A FISH IN A BOAT?
FLYING FISH.
UM, THEY'RE DOING WELL, GUYS,
IS WHAT I'M SAYING.

Karim says ARE YOU IMPRESSED WITH THE
BALANCE?

(JAVIER SPEAKING SPANISH)

The translator says YES, I'M VERY
IMPRESSED WITH THEIR BALANCE.
THEY'RE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS
VERY WELL AND DOING A GREAT
GREAT JOB.

Javier says OOH.

Camille says IN A LAKE THAT'S A
130 SQUARE KILOMETRES OF OPEN
WATER, POOR SOL'S STILL MANAGED
TO HIT AN OBSTACLE.

Sol says THIS IS WONDERFUL, INNIT?

Karim says GUYS, TRY NOT TO HIT THE
TREES!

Camille says FRANC IS THE FIRST
TO REACH THE HALFWAY POINT,
JUST EDGING OUT REEF.
AND SO FAR, EVERYONE'S STILL
DRY.

Karim says COME ON, GUYS!
YOU'RE DOING VERY WELL!
(JAVIER SPEAKING SPANISH)

Camille says COACH JAVIER HAS
CHOSEN THIS TRAINING BECAUSE IT
NEEDS THE BOYS TO CONCENTRATE
ON THEIR BALANCE...
WHILE ENGAGING THEIR CORE
AND THEIR HIPS TO MOVE THE
PADDLE.
MUCH LIKE HITTING THE BALL WITH
THEIR HIPS IN PITZ.
AND THE BOYS ARE GIVING IT
THEIR ALL.

Karim says DO YOU KNOW HOW I KNOW
THEY'RE TAKING THIS SERIOUSLY?
THEY'RE NOT TALKING TO EACH
OTHER.
THERE'S NO LAUGHTER.
THESE TWO ARE GENUINELY TRYING
TO WIN.
THEY'RE NOT EVEN LOOKING AT
EACH OTHER.

Camille says SOL'S FINALLY MADE
IT TO THE HALFWAY POINT.
MAYBE NOW HE CAN START TO CATCH
UP ON THE HOME LEG.

Sol falls on his back.

Camille says OR MAYBE NOT.
WITH SOL TOTALLY EXHAUSTED,
IT'S NOW A TWO-BOAT RACE.
FRANC AND REEF ARE STILL NECK
AND NECK, JUST METRES FROM THE
FINISH LINE.

Karim says OH, IT'S ANYONE'S GAME!

Franc says I WAS COMING INTO THE
FINAL SPRINT.
I WAS THINKING THAT MAYBE IF I
USED THE SURFACE OF THE WATER
BED TO PUSH ME ALONG, IT WOULD
HELP.

(REEF LAUGHING)

Franc says NO!
BUT MY OAR GOT STUCK IN THE
SAND, AND THEN I WAS STUCK.
SO I DECIDED JUST TO CLING ONTO
REEF.

Reef says WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
(LAUGHING) GET OFF!

Karim says OH, NO, IT'S GOTTEN BRUTAL.
IT'S GOTTEN AGGRESSIVE.

Reef says GET OFF, GET OFF!

Karim says FULL-BODY CONTACT!

Reef says PULL ME BACK!
WENT TO THE END.
BANG, FRANC PUSHED ME INTO THE
REEDS.
OH, MY GOD.
THEN HE WENT, JUMPED OUT OF HIS
BOAT, WENT FIRST PLACE.

Franc says OH, NO.

Reef says CHEATER!

Franc says AND THEN JUST RUN IT IN.
(LAUGHING)

Camille says NOTHING LIKE A BIT
OF CREATIVE OVERTAKING TO HELP
WIN A RACE.
(LAUGHING)

Reef says AH!
CHEAT.

Karim says MATE, YOU TWO ARE SO
COMPETITIVE.

Franc says I THINK, HOPEFULLY, I CAME
FIRST.
NO DISQUALIFICATIONS.

Karim hugs Reef and says COME ON.

Franc says AH, SORRY, REEF.

Reef says DON'T WORRY.
I'LL BE GETTING HIM.

Sol says I'M FEELING A BIT
DOWNHEARTED AND FRUSTRATED WITH
MYSELF, BECAUSE I CAME LAST.
AND THE OTHER BOYS WERE STRONGER
THAN ME.
AND I FEEL LIKE I DIDN'T DO AS
GOOD AS I WANTED TO.

Karim says COME HERE.
WHAT'S UP, MAN?
COME HERE, COME HERE.
GIVE ME A HUG.
COME HERE.
IT'S ALRIGHT.

Sol says I'VE NEVER DONE IT BEFORE,
AND I WANT TO DO REALLY WELL
AT IT.

Javier high-fives Sol.

(JAVIER SPEAKING SPANISH)

Karim says YEAH?

Reef points at himself and says THE WINNER.
THE WINNER.
YEAH.

Franc says NO, NO.

Sol says I DIDN'T REALLY SEE THEM
CHEATING, BUT I KNOW THEY'VE
HAD ARGUMENTS ABOUT IT.
BUT IT'S BEEN FUNNY WATCHING
THEM ARGUE.

Karim says THERE WAS A FEW MISHAPS
TOWARDS THE END, WITH MAYBE A
BIT OF CHEATING.
REEF IS POINTING AT FRANC.
OARS GOT LOST.

Franc says AND A BIT OF CHEATING FROM...

Karim says BUT WILL THAT AFFECT
JAVIER'S CHOICE OF WINNER?
(SPEAKING SPANISH)

Javier says YOU ALL DID VERY
WELL HERE.
I SAW THE CAPACITY AND SKILLS
OF EVERYONE.
THIS IS WHAT WE HAVE TO KEEP
PRACTISING-- STRONG MENTALITY,
GOOD BALANCE, AND A LOT OF
STRENGTH.
AND THE WINNER IS...

Javier says FRANC.

Reef says YOU CHEAT.

Franc raises his hand for a handshake and says AH, DON'T LEAVE ME
HANGING.
YEAH, I FEEL REALLY GOOD
WINNING.
I WOULD HAVE FELT BETTER IF I
WON FAIR AND SQUARE, BUT...
A WIN'S A WIN.

Reef says FRANC MAY HAVE COME FIRST,
BUT I THINK I WON IT.

Franc says AH.

Reef says I WILL GET HIM BACK LATER.
I WILL.

Karim says JAVIER, WOULD YOU LIKE TO
TAKE THE BOYS TRAINING?
(JAVIER SPEAKING SPANISH)

Karim says SEE YOU LATER, BOYS!
WELL DONE!
PROUD OF YOU!

Camille calls.

Karim says OH, SURPRISE, SURPRISE.
CAMILLE HAS SOMETHING TO SAY.

Camille says HEY, KARIM.
OH, NICE LOOK YOU'RE ROCKING!
A BIT LIKE YOU'VE MADE A HAT
OUT OF BROKEN BITS OF PIÑATA.
ANYWAY, THERE IS ACTUALLY
ANOTHER FORM OF PITZ THAT YOU
HAVEN'T HEARD ABOUT BUT I THINK
IS RIGHT UP YOUR STREET.

Karim says YEAH?

Camille says IT'S BIT LIKE HOCKEY, WITH A
TWIST.

Karim says THAT SOUNDS GOOD.
I RECKON I CAN DO THIS.

Camille says YOUR COACHES ARE WAITING FOR
YOU AT ANOTHER PITCH DOWNTOWN
IN SAN JUAN.
AND YOU'RE PLAYING AGAINST THE
LOCALS TONIGHT.
OFF YOU POP, THEN!

Karim says I BETTER GET PRACTISING.

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

Camille says BACK ON DRY LAND,
AND COACH JAVIER'S NOT LETTING
UP.
(SPEAKING SPANISH)

Javier makes the boy squat on their toes.

Camille says HE CARRIES ON WORKING ON THE
BOYS' BALANCE.
IT'S MUCH HARDER THAN IT LOOKS.
AND GYMNAST SOL SEEMS LIKE HE'S
STILL FEELING A BIT SEASICK
FROM HIS LOSS.

Javier says SOL, CONCENTRACIÓN.

Camille says DOWNTOWN, KARIM'S
MEETING DIEGO AND ALVARO FOR A
CRASH COURSE IN HIS VERY OWN
PHYSICAL ACTIVITY.

Karim says BIEN?

Diego says HOLA.

Karim says GOOD TO SEE YOU, MAN.
(SPEAKING SPANISH)
YEAH, REALLY GOOD, THANK YOU.
EXCITED TO FIND OUT WHAT I'M
DOING.

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

The translator says THIS IS ANOTHER
WAY OUR MAYAN ANCESTORS PLAYED
PITZ.
TO PLAY THE GAME, WE PUT THE
BALL ON THE GROUND.
AND TO SCORE, YOU HIT ONE OF
THE POSTS IN THE CORNERS.

Karim says WEIRD, THIS.
CAMILLE NORMALLY STITCHES ME UP,
BUT SOMETHING LIKE THIS I THINK
I'LL BE QUITE GOOD AT.

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

The translator says YES, IT LOOKS
EASY, AND IT CAN BE EASY.
(SPEAKING SPANISH)
BUT THE SPECIAL THING ABOUT
THIS GAME IS THAT THE BALL WILL
BE ON FIRE.

Karim says WHAT?
(LAUGHING)

Camille says OH, YEAH, I KNEW I
FORGOT TO MENTION SOMETHING.
IT'S ACTUALLY CALLED FIRE PITZ.
OH, WELL.

Karim says YOU LOT ARE MENTAL.
DO YOU KNOW THAT?
I'M TOO PRETTY TO BE PLAYING
THIS KIND OF SPORT, YOU KNOW.
THIS IS RIDICULOUS.
(LAUGHING)

Camille says AS KARIM PREPARES
TO MEET CERTAIN DEATH-- I MEAN,
PLAY A GAME OF FIRE PITZ, COACH
JAVIER AND THE BOYS ARE SHOWING
OFF THEIR BEST MOVES.
AND SOME OF THEM ARE GETTING A
BIT CARRIED AWAY.
(SPEAKING SPANISH)
SOL MANAGES TO TURN PITZ
TRAINING INTO A DANCE BATTLE.

Sol and a local boy spin on their hands and do other acrobatic moves.

Javier says GOOD, GOOD.
PERFECT, PERFECT.
(BOYS LAUGHING)

Reef says SOL, HOW DO YOU DO
THAT?

Camille says HOWEVER, DOWN AT
THE FIRE PITZ PITCH, KARIM'S
NEW TEAMMATES-- AKA FULL-ON
MAYAN WARRIORS-- ARE GETTING
READY FOR A VERY DIFFERENT
BATTLE.
GOOD LUCK, KARIM.
I WOULD SAY IT WAS NICE KNOWING
YOU, BUT, YOU KNOW, ANYWAY.

Karim says CAMILLE, YOU REALLY GOT ME
THIS TIME.
BUT DON'T PLAY A PLAYER.
NEXT WEEK, YOU'RE GOING TO FEEL
IT.
TRUST ME.
YOU'RE GOING TO FEEL IT.

Camille says WHAT BETTER
POST-TRAINING TREAT THAN
GETTING TOGETHER WITH YOUR
FELLOW PITZ PLAYERS TO WATCH
KARIM PLAY WITH A GREAT BALL OF
FIRE?
ANYONE BROUGHT ANY POPCORN?
(EXHALING LOUDLY)

Aorund the bonfire, the teams wave their hands and say HEY!
(SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY)
HEY!

A man sets the ball on fire and says HO!

Camille says OH, OKAY, THEY'RE
QUITE SERIOUS, AREN'T THEY?
I MIGHT HAVE GONE A BIT FAR.

Sol says GO, KARIM!

Franc says COME ON, KARIM!

Karim says HEY!

The game starts.

Camille says THEY ARE QUITE
LITERALLY PLAYING WITH FIRE.
DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME.
THESE ARE ALL HIGHLY-TRAINED
PROFESSIONALS-- AND KARIM.

Reef says FIRE PITZ WAS CRAZY TO
WATCH.
KARIM DID A CRAZY JOB.

Karim says OOH, THAT'S A BIG FIRE NOW.

Franc says GO, KARIM!
YEAH, I'VE DEFINITELY GOT A
NEWFOUND RESPECT FOR KARIM,
BECAUSE EVERY TRAINING, HE'S
BEEN SKIPPING IT.
I THOUGHT HE JUST WASN'T UP FOR
IT.
BUT AS SOON AS I SAW HIM PLAY
THAT, I WAS SHOCKED.
I GOT STUCK IN.
(KARIM GRUNTING LOUDLY)

Sol says YES, KARIM!
GO, KARIM!
(KARIM GRUNTING LOUDLY)

Sol says YEAH, I THINK I'M A BIT
SENSIBLE NOT TO TRY FIRE PITZ.
MY PARENTS WOULDN'T LET ME.

Karim says COME ON!

Sol says YES, GO, KARIM!

Franc says IT'S TOO DANGEROUS.
I DON'T WANT TO GET MY HAIR
BURNT OFF MY EYEBROWS.

Karim says COME ON.
(KARIM LAUGHING)

Karim says LET'S HAVE IT!

Camille says OKAY, I HATE TO SAY
IT, BUT HE'S DONE PRETTY WELL.
EYEBROWS INTACT, HIS CHALLENGE
IS OVER.

Karim says YEAH?
RIGHT, I'VE DONE MY BIT, BUT
NOW, IT'S TIME TO GET DOWN TO
BUSINESS.
SO, JAVIER, YOU'VE BEEN WATCHING
THEM ALL WEEK, WATCHING THEIR
PROGRESS.
BUT WHO'S GOING TO BE TEAM
CAPTAIN FOR TOMORROW'S
TOURNAMENT?

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

Javier says YOU'VE ALL DONE
VERY WELL AND HAVE PASSED ALL
OF THE CHALLENGES.
I KNOW THE CHALLENGES WEREN'T
EASY.
THE PERSON I'M GOING TO NAME AS
CAPTAIN HAS GIVEN 110 PERCENT,
AND THAT PERSON IS...

Javier says FRANC.

Karim says HEY!

Franc says I'M REALLY CHUFFED TO
BE THE CAPTAIN.
I MEAN, IT'S A REAL PRIVILEGE.
I'M REALLY EXCITED FOR TOMORROW.
I'M READY.
WE'VE DONE OUR TRAINING, AND I
CAN'T WAIT TO GET STUCK IN.

Karim says I'M PROUD OF EACH AND EVERY
ONE OF YOU FOR THIS WEEK.
YOU'VE DONE A REALLY GOOD JOB.
I MEAN THAT, BOTTOM OF MY
HEART, BUT TOMORROW IS A VERY
BIG DAY FOR EACH OF YOU.

Camille says NEXT TIME ON
A WEEK
TO BEAT THE WORLD,
THE BOYS PUT
ALL THEIR TRAINING INTO ACTION
AS THEY FACE THE BIGGEST
CHALLENGE YET.
A FULL-ON GAME OF PITZ AGAINST
THE LOCAL PROS.
THERE'LL BE BUMPS AND BRUISES
AND BRAVADO.
BUT WILL THE BOYS' TEAM SUCCEED
IN GUATEMALA?

The boys say OH!

Music plays as the end credits roll.
